Highly Reversible Intercalation of Calcium Ions in Layered Vanadium Compounds Enabled by Acetonitrile-Water Hybrid Electrolyte.

Currently, the development of calcium-ion batteries (CIBs) is still in its infancy and greatly plagued by the absence of satisfactory cathode materials and compatible electrolytes. Herein, an acetonitrile-water hybrid electrolyte is first developed in CIB chemistry, in which, the strong lubricating and shielding effect of water solvent significantly boosts the swift transport of bulky Ca, thus contributing to large capacity storage of Ca in layered vanadium oxides (CaVO·HO, CVO). Meanwhile, the acetonitrile component noticeably suppresses the dissolution of vanadium species during repeated Ca-ion uptake/release, endowing the CVO cathode with a robust cycle life.

Effects of Coaching-Based Teleoccupational Guidance for Home-Based Stroke Survivors and Their Family Caregivers: A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial.

The aim of this pilot study was to investigate the feasibility and effectiveness of a 3-month coaching-based teleoccupational guidance (CTG) programme for home-based stroke survivors and their family caregivers. An assessor-blind pilot randomised controlled study was conducted. Twenty-five participant dyads (each dyad consisted of one home-based stroke patient and their caregivers) were randomised to a control group (RTG, = 12) or an experimental group (CTG, = 13).

Coaching-Based Teleoccupational Guidance for Home-Based Stroke Survivors and Their Family Caregivers: Study Protocol for a Superior Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Home-based rehabilitation has been shown to be useful for stroke survivors to participate in daily life activities and return to their families. However, many home-based stroke survivors face challenges in the lack of professional guidance, rational training plans, and insufficient motivation, which will affect their rehabilitation outcomes to varying degrees. Though occupational therapy and coaching are widely recommended for stroke rehabilitation, studies that combine these two interventions via telerehabilitation in home-based rehabilitation are limited.

Conductive Polyacrylic Acid-Polyaniline as a Multifunctional Binder for Stable Organic Quinone Electrodes of Lithium-Ion Batteries.

High solubility in aprotic organic electrolytes and poor electrical conductivity are the main restrictions of organic electrodes in practical application. Conductive binder contributes to the high-performance electrodes as it enables both mechanical and electronic integrity of the electrode, which have been scarcely explored for organic electrodes. Herein, a conductive interpenetrating polymeric network is synthesized through polymerization of polyaniline with poly(acrylic acid) (denoted PAA-PANi), which served as a novel conductive binder for organic 2-aminoanthraquinone (AAQ) materials.
